Today I moved on to Oyster. The portage is 320 rods. The first portion of the trail is up hill before leveling off. There was a stretch that was flooded in years past, today it is virtually dry.Double portaging, it takes me about an hour and a half to get to Oyster. I head to the campsite closest to the river portage. There used to be two large white pines on this site. One died as was cut down by the forest service and the other appeared to have been just blown over from a recent storm. There's a couple of good tent pads, good landing area and a great view of the lake. I get my tent and tarp set up, have lunch and get on the lake to do some trout fishing. The fish appear to be in about 45-55 feet of water and with an hour I've landed my first trout. I find a spot along the shore and fry it up. It tasted great!
